Amazed with how many people say they like Birdie or they find her, not Kate Hudson but her, genuinely attractive. Did you completely miss the point? As an attractive white woman, Birdie Jay can get away with saying “Jewy” as an insult, can get away with comparing herself to Harriet Tubman and implicitly can get away with doing blackface. People forgave her, because she’s just a little stupid, she didn’t mean it, it wasn’t her fault! All she needs to do, as Peg outright states, is give a half apology and lay low and then the world will get over it. But the things she did are still horrific. Her racism is still racism, regardless of whether it comes from hate or ignorance. Birdie Jay is not a good person and you’re not meant to think she is.

#glass onion #I’m not being like oh thinking Birdie is sexy is a crime you’re allowed to want her and find her attractive I guess #but as a person? in the movie dedicated to a black woman taking back control and getting revenge for her sister #you focused on the white racist lady who enslaved Bangladeshi children? that’s the one you want? #serious? #birdie jay #knives out glass onion #glass onion knives out #kate hudson #REAL LIFE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THIS. if he’s elon she’s your White™️ fav #the one who said a slur but never sorry. the one who didn’t change. the one who half asses every apology because she never ever meant it #Birdie isn’t sorry about her racism. she has the gall to get pissy with Helen over the Oprah incident as if it was an overreaction #she rolls her eyes at a black woman upset about racism. at a black woman she happily fucked over for money. birdie jay is a bad person #stop pretending she’s an innocent or even half innocent #she might not have known what she was doing but that was only because she didn’t bother to care #it’s not invincible ignorance. she could have changed. she couldn’t be bothered

Hey anon, I'm so sorry but your ask is obscenely long so I'm cutting it down to bare essentials

Most of the Original Ask was just a copypaste of this forum post, quickly highlighting this comment too

LOOK WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT MORIA, YO! "Defeated by Gellard and returns in the Final Scenario with an even more grotesque appearance than when you first met him."

But yes, I am aware, I have read that exact same thread before (when I first learned about the Romancing SaGa inspo on r/OnePiece and wanted to learn more), and I did briefly discuss the Seven Heroes when speculating about Cross Guild and wherever the fuck that plotline is going

And I'm now going to add onto that original post, because boy howdy do I have some additional thoughts to get out of my brain

Okay so yes, Doflamingo would be the OG Iteration of Bokuohn, the puppeteer who manipulates people. But in the context of Cross Guild... That's Buggy. "Bokuohn is in control of the majority of the Seven Heroes' forces. Situated in the Steppes region, he owns a large landship, complete with an innumerable amount of slaves." That's literally just Buggy. Like he's not a master of psychological manipulation nor can he forcefully manipulate anybody like literal puppets either (the way Mingo could), but. Like scratch out he RoSa2 terms, replace them with the relevant OP terms and it's a perfect description of Buggy.

Bringing that up because I'm still interested in Cross Guild becoming Shichibukai 2.0 But Without The Government This Time, but if we wanted to have exactly seven former Shichibukai to make up Cross Guild and make sure we had like ones who could actually fill out the roles of the Seven Heroes from RoSa2... Yeah there's going to have to be some replacements Not just because otherwise Doflamingo would need to be broken out of Impel Down somehow (which I doubt will happen, also I don't think Crocodile would want him working for him anyways), but also. Jinbei's with the Strawhats. And I don't think he's ditching Luffy any time soon for Crocodile of all people, not when he finally fucking joined the Strawhats for realsies.

So Doflamingo could be replaced with Buggy, cool, sure. What about Jinbei then? Who will take up the role of RoSa2's Subier?

So a while back I wrote this speculation post about if the Burn Scar Man (who has the final Road Poneglyph) could be a Fishman.(PERHAPS specifically Davy Jones?) Bringing that up because during Kuma's flashback we did learn that Kuma got the Shichibukai Slot after Ace defeated one of the seven at the time. And we specifically got to see Ace talk to Jinbei about it, Ace being surprised Jinbei of all people was glad the Shichibukai slot was being filled again. Now obviously, our Firefist Ace defeating a Shichibukai makes for one great candidate on who the Burn Scar Man could be, as Ace could very easily leave someone with some severe burn scars. This is platantly obvious lmao. But it's the conversation with Jinbei that actually interests me, because like. Sure, Jinbei being a fellow Shichibukai, it might be odd for Ace to hear Jinbei be glad that one of his fellow Warlords is being replaced. But that comment could make twice as much sense if that Warlord had ALSO been a fellow Fishman and/or a Merman (and perhaps someone Jinbei might've known better?). Now indeed. We are going to meet the Burn Scar Man eventually, 100%, it's mandatory for the plot to move forwards. Which means we're going to find out who that guy is, and if the Road Poneglyph gets stolen from him, he might have to find something else to do with his life since there won't be any point in guarding it anymore. And hey. If Mr Burns does turn out to be a fellow former Shichibukai who also happens to be a Fishman/Merman and a master of Fishman Karate... Oh hey, what's this? "Subier - A half octopus merman who controls the flow of the ocean to use as a weapon." Like. IDK I think we could have another Cross Guild member on our hands here.

(Honestly, currently the only problem we have is Dantarg, whose role currently being held by Kuma. Like the only other known Shichibukai we have who could be "available" is Law but he hasn't really done any "bodymods to become stronger" and thus doesn't fit the description. Hell, that description fits Kid more than anything but he was never a Shichibukai either. Guess we gotta keep on hoping Kuma somehow survives and just doesn't return to the Revolutionary Army for some reason)

Hilariously the most interesting thing you pointed out was that comment in the forum thread about Moria, 'cause I hadn't even realized this before but

So we know Blackbeard had captured Moria and held him hostage for... weeks, months? Until he was freed by Coby as per Perona's plea during the raid on Fullalead. Interestingly though, although theoretically we know Moria and Perona should have escaped the island by now, we have not seen either, now have we? Which is kind of suspicious now that I think about it. Because like. It'd make perfect sense if Blackbeard and co had been torturing Moria during his time in captivity, right. Have they been feeding my beloved goth onion well? Realistically, probably not?

Like. Thinking about it. We know Moria got chumby after the trauma of losing his crew and all, so what are the odds he might have lost that weight now during his captivity??? What if he looks more like his younger self again, the one see clash with Kaidou??? Or, the more horrifying option. I mean zombies aren't like an inherent part of Moria's DF abilities, just the Shadow Manipulation. But for all we know Moria could have lost a limb or two, and depending on where the fuck Hogback is (dude is supposed to be a competent doctor, he should be able to stitch Moria back up)... I mean theoretically the next time we see Moria he could look like one of his zombies. Or worse.

Hi! Would like to make a request for the Runaway Bride one!

Gil had an accident and Thena patches him up as good as she can, with his help and instructions.

I really love your work! Keep it up!

"Is it...how does that feel?"

Gil smiled at Thena from being laid on the bed, his leg elevated on his pillow (his head was on hers, so he wouldn't risk getting any blood on it.

He had been out 'lumberjacking', as Thena called it, when a stray animal had startled him. His swing went amiss and next thing he knew he had one hell of a cut along his leg from just above his knee. He was lucky to have made it home to Thena using it as a cane.

She had run out of the cabin practically screaming at him.

"Thanks, sweetheart," he sighed, his vision still flitting and hazy from all of his lost blood. She had already made some very weak tea with plenty of honey in it for him, as well as some blueberries she was going to use for cobbler, he assumed. "I'm feeling better already."

"Gilgamesh," she sighed, in no mood to be placated by sweet words. She glared at him faintly, "I mean it. How is the pain?"

He sighed again. In truth, his knee was aching, his muscles were burning, and at the same time he felt chilled to the bone. Walking however far he had certainly hadn't helped the injury.

Thena sat herself beside him, picking up his heavy hand between hers. "Really, Gil."

He smiled at her again, because she was so sweet, his Runaway Bride. She had come so far from the lost little fawn he had found in the woods. "It still hurts. But I feel a lot better than before."

Thena dropped her head to his hand she was holding aloft for him. She had held it together through all of his instruction of how to wash out his wound and apply a medicinal salve and bandage it up as best she could.

"I'm sorry, hon."

She looked up at him sharply.

He tilted his head towards her on the pillow, "I probably won't be able to get around on my own for a while. You'll have to-"

"Gil!" she pursed her lips, and he half expected her to complain about the workload he was putting on her. But then, that wouldn't be Thena. Thena was no less afraid of hard work than she was the bears in the woods. "How could you apologise! You're hurt! This...this is the least I can do for you."

She brought his hand up to face his palm out, letting herself press her cheek into it. She sniffled, "I am still capable of a mere fraction of what you can do. But I owe you more than I will ever be able to express already."

Gil shook his head, "you don't-"

Thena leaned forward, and Gil almost wondered just how close she was going to get to him in this position. But she eyed him up close, letting him note every little ripple in the sea of green within her eyes. "I owe you my life as I now know it, Gilgamesh."

He could say he owed her just as much--that his life hadn't been the same since she dragged herself to his door. And in the best way possible, because she had no idea how much he looked forward to coming home to her making a mess in the kitchen, or sweeping the floors for the third time in a day. He no longer dozed off in his chair in front of the fire because he would rather crawl into bed and know that she was happily sleeping beside him.

He still feared the day that he would come home and find that his Runaway Bride had been found and dragged back to the altar.

Gil blinked out of his reverie, and he was pretty sure he had actually fallen asleep for a split second. Thena was adjusting him on the pillows and pulling a blanket over his legs. He looked around him, "you're gonna have to climb over me, I guess."

"I'm not sleeping in the bed."

"What?!"

Thena looked at him with a hint of her usual stubbornness. "You're hurt, Gil. Moving around in your sleep will only do more harm. I'll sleep in the bed when you're healed."

"Wh-" his jaw hung open, trying to conjure denial after denial. This was not what he had in mind. He waved his hand as she stood to dump out the ice cold bucket of rags and bandages. "That's-"

"No, Gilgamesh," she frowned, and the continued use of his full name made him pout more. "I can sleep on the hay bed while you heal. In the morning we'll test how well you can or can't walk."

Gil crossed his arms to himself, pouting as Thena disposed of the wash bucket contents. He thought he was supposed to get whatever he wanted when he was sick or suffering.

#Thenamesh Runaway Bride AU #poor Gil #we really put him through it #but he's tough he'll be fine #but I secretly think this one is a little bit whiny #mostly he misses Thena #so as she does more of the housework he usually does he'll be in the bed #and she looks up from painstakingly cutting up one single onion #Theeeeeennnnaaaaaaaaa #She sighs yes Gil? #are you done yet? you've been doing a lot! you should come sit with me #he really does miss her at night #he keeps looking over at her sleeping on his little straw cot that was just for napping on #and he'll whisper if she's awake but of course she's completely tired out from her days working so hard #and he feels even worse about sleeping all day #but then in the morning she'll wake him up gently #she'll check him for signs of infection check for fever check the leg #she'll help him hobble to the back so he can take a bath and such #and he'll tell her that she's really getting the hang of being the boss of the household #of course everything he was doing before revolved around her anyway #she just didn't know it

i miss the era of internet where all we got were anime fansubs made by people who had the time to do what they enjoyed

#translations of everything have started to suck more and more each passing year. everything is rushed out so quick theres no time to #localize literally anything #this is specifically the OFFICIAL dunmeshi anime subtitles saying theres not going to b a duck with an onion or something #ok. that wouldnt have even needed localization. you just didnt translate the fucking thing. you cannot take a saying and directly translate #all the words in it and expect people to get it #also theres a culture of ppl who know a language being like 'uhm. why did you translate it like that when it literally means xyz' #like yeah sure i'm sure translating everything directly ignoring the original prose and flow and meaning is going to be great #yakuza is the only game series i trust to b translated properly tbh. bc of the safe sects joke. #i wish ppl hiring translators a very pay them more and give them more time to work #is this rant even coherent. after ages i managed to fall asleep around 4 am and sleep a whopping 2 hours before waking up #and then i tried to go back to sleep bc i am so incredibly tired but then the clock hit 8 am (i have one of those clocks that chimes every #hour) and i just gave up and decided i need to write down what ive been thinking about for #the past half an hour #though i feel this is missing over half the context i thought of but idk bc im so very tired gdhwbfks

i made gnocchi that absolutely FUCKS whoever said i was bad in the kitchen (me) can go fuck themself i can make any storebought pasta sauce go hard with only two hours, diced onions, minced garlic, diced bell peppers, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, and salt and i don’t want anyone telling me that i’m not great in the kitchen

#imo the KEY to good pasta is add ins like when ur sautéing ur garlic and onions let them get nice and caramel then add in more #vegetables then BURN IT TO THE PAN not a lot just enough that it sticks and smells a little crispy and there’s no liquid left then u take #ur pasta water and put a little in and stir it as fast as possible so it doesn’t burn for realsies and then add sugar and salt and let it #simmer then add ur pasta sauce and ur gnocchi or whatever and add those red pepper flakes bc they make everything delicious and then Wait #for like. half an hour and then u can thank me for sharing my culinary genius with all of you bc this recipe comes from my mind #and over a decade’s worth of watching cooking shows. you’re welcome

^^^ Some of y’all straight-up did not understand Barbie but are somehow convinced that your lack of understanding makes you smarter than the movie

#like. the reason barbie apologizes to ken is because barbieland has spent years dehumanizing kens & treating them like accessories #yknow. because barbieland is meant to be an inverse of our world where women are dehumanized. #kens represent people being dismissed based solely on the circumstances of their “birth” (or creation/manufacturing since these are dolls) #its not ''what about men'' its literally a message FOR MEN that asks them to consider what being treated as an object would feel like #also is anyone actually calling it an ‘’unprecedented feminist event’’ or are you just policing women for enjoying a movie made for them 🤔 #+ the gynecologist line at the end is a fucking joke that people take way too seriously but also... #how many other mainstream movies can you even think of where the word ''gynecologist'' is said so casually #do some of yall forget that a lot of women literally do not have access to or do not even know about the importance of seeing a gynecologis #like can you not even fathom that casually talking about that type of thing in a huge movie like Barbie... #...can be a small but important step towards normalizing discussions about women's health? #no instead we're all just gonna bitch that a popular comedy movie based on a childrens toy didn't have groundbreaking feminist commentary #because as we all know every movie that a woman makes has to have groundbreaking feminist commentary otherwise it aint worth shit /s #moviepost #theres a fight over at the morgue #just my onion

#also i doubt i'll even be able to fall asleep really. #my sisters are coming over which means lots of noise and bad smells and a mess everywhere (bc. kids) #i am very much not in a mental state where i can handle that. but i don't really get a say on the matter #blegh probably gonna get woken up by my parents' cooking too. terrible thing to wake up to (the smell of fried onion) #:( i think i'm gonna take my sleeping pill just to assure i WILL fall asleep tonight and won't wake up too soon/too many times :( #sorry for complaining sm. every time i complain to anyone irl they start arguing with me

[jeremybearimyy]

i have a theory that the difference between successful anti-capitalist critiques in film and unsuccessful ones fall around narrative. a lot of the anti-capitalist media i’ve seen pop up in the past few years has revolved around retribution; it is an experience where we, the audience that is relatively poor compared to the rich, can point at laugh at their rich-person naivete and stupidity. but even while these may be attempts at critiques on wealth, they are never as successful as something like parasite. when i speak on the point-and-laugh idea, i’m speaking on something like the menu; while the vessel for the audience was taylor-joy playing a non-rich character, the main spectacle of the film was just watching ralph fiennes be incredibly cruel to the room of annoying rich people. therefore, the narrative was not interested in her story as a non-elite woman; she was merely an object to place the reader with, given little backstory and fleshing out aside from a relatable will to live (and need for a cheeseburger).

whereas something like parasite or sorry to bother you is interested in something else entirely; the spectacle is not just the absurdity of rich people, but the struggle it takes to get there, and the insane lengths rich people will go to not only preserve their wealth but also to differentiate themselves with anyone that isn’t them. 

in my mind that differentiates “successful” capitalist critiques in media; who are we giving a voice to? who are we really watching here? is any regard given to the people most affected by the violence of capitalism? 

#i loved glass onion and enjoyed the menu #but i would not say either of them were actual critiques of capitalism or capitalist people #instead they were flicks about people within that framework #which is fine! but what happens when films about capitalism (that don't really have any stake in changing the system) #take over the anti-capitalist discourse? #whose space is it then? #em speaks #apparently i'm in a ranty mood! #let me know your thoughts !
